Seagate ST2000LM007-2TB SATA Mobile 7mm Hard Disk Drive

Product Information

This presents itself immediately. The HDDs are designed with a height of 7mm, but have the ability to contain 2 platters. Previously, the limit of 7mm height HDDs was to contain a single platter. To achieve this it has been necessary to redesign the HDD completely. Controller FW Rev: 08060104, CustomerRel: EB01, Changelist: 01739083, ProdType: R1AEA06.SDM4, Date: 08/06/2019, Time: 010442, UserId: 00305567 In terms of the performance you might reasonably expect, Seagate claims 140MB/s, and none of my tests refute those numbers.

To allow access to the diagnostic port it is necessary to alter code found in the serial flash ROM chip. Once complete many, but not all, operations using the diagnostic port can be completed. Highly degraded media and complex firmware While Seagate doesn’t have any competition for its 5TB portable hard drive, things are radically different for lower capacity products, not least from Seagate’s older models.It worked! Thank you so much I've been going round in circles with this and you answered my question within minutes with a working fix, Brilliant! Considering these HDDs from a reliability/data recovery point of view, then we would have to say, from the current experience at CDR, that these HDDs present as some of the least reliable HDDs made. Moreover, they present as some of the most challenging disks we have seen in recent years to achieve a completely successful recovery of the data.

Usage of SMR technology is justified in environments that are used to archive cold data that is not updated frequently because write performance of such HDDs may be rather slow. Client PCs both read and record data and it remains to be seen whether performance offered by SMR-based client HDDs will be sufficient for the end-user. The Seagate Mobile HDD 2 TB is around 60% slower than the Seagate Laptop HDD 2 TB based on maximum sustainable transfer rate.Run Seagate ST2000LM007 X1P87.exe as administrator if you want to update firmware for 2 TB hard disk drive. Using Windows 7 SP1 on a Skylake PC, I got 143.3MB/s reads and 140.8MB/s writes using CrystalDiskMark. By laptop drive standards, those are highly respectable numbers, although they’re about a third of what you might expect out of a decent SATA-connected SSD.
